    Cannabis prohibition is CRT. Cannabis is the Ultimate Weapon of Mass Peace and Phytoremediation!

    The DEA can legally bust down all of the stores. If they wanted that is

    Ok I will only buy my pot from Caucasians .
    Never thought about boycotting businesses but know I will only buy from corporations and caucasians.

    Hopefully the state won’t tax it too high. Many dispensaries are losing sales to the illegal market.

    they only talk about being legal but they dont say anything about jobs still requiring drug test. it doesn’t make sence

    The number of fentynl addicts is rising and the government is fueling this rise.

    Legalizing drugs for equity. We’ve done it, we solved all racisms

    So, if you’ve been convicted of a gun crime you should get priority for government help if you want to open up a gun shop? #LiberalusmIsAMentalDisorder

    Marijuana creates a false economy.
    California is an example of this.
    Grass went from $5,000 a pound to $500. Everybody grows it. Everybody gives it away. Make Way for next year’s crop.

    What utterly amazes me is not only the hesitation, it seems, by the federal justice system to punish the leaders of the coup in America, but the refusal to acknowledge this injustice and legalize it federally. Blows my mind.

    Pot Wins

    It has definitely being a hard time for our brothers and sisters of color…..as you listen to that young man, you hear an articulate intelligent man. Imagen how many man like him were shunt from participating in this great experience and experiment called This our United States of America
    We could have been so far ahead of our time if it not for the social handcuffs put on minorities
    May God Bless that family and best wishes to that young man
